first you must know what ROY G BIV is. that is the spectrum of visible light humans can see and it stands for Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet. the specific characteristic of light that allows you to tell one atom from another has to do with the fact that light travels in waves. each element gives off its own specific and unique light pattern and the different colors of visible light travel in different waves. the color red is the longest wave and violet is the shortest. so lets say hypothetically that you tested helium and you got red light, next you tested oxygen and you got yellow. this would indicate that the two atoms of the element are different because you got two different colors, and therefore two different wavelengths.

Some electrons in atoms vibrate at a characteristic frequency that produces white light True Or False?
False.
Is frequency a characteristic of visible light that does not depend on the light's wavelength?
No.
What characteristic of light energy causes people to see objects absorption refraction or reflection?
All three!Reflection of light from the surface of an object allows your eye to see that object.The eye lens focuses light on the retina by refraction.The eye detects light through absorption via the retina.
What does light do?
Light allows you to see.
What happeneds when atoms get excited?
Atoms release a particular color of light
Some electrons in atoms vibrate at a characteristic frequency that produces white light True Or False?
False.
How does light get through glass?
The atoms in glass molecules are further apart than the wavelength of light, which allows the light to pass through.
What are the common properties and characteristic of light?
wheat are the common properties and characteristic of light
Why do atoms of certain elements give off light of characteristic color when heated to high temperature?
Atoms of certain elements give off light of characteristic color when heated to high temperature since the electrons induce to absorb energy, jumps to the excited energy state called quantum jump and then returns to their ground state. The amount of energy in the photon determines its color.
Can refracting telescope allows scientist to see carbon molecules?
Atoms can't be seen because they are smaller than a wavelength of light
Different bells and tuning forks have their own natural vibrations and emit their own tones when struck. How is this analogous to atoms Molecule and light?
Each molecule vibrates at a characteristic frequency and emits light of a specific frequency.
What allows a computer to communicate with another device with a beam of light?
Fiber Optic networking allows computers to communicate with a beam over light oven thin strands of glass cabling.
What does an electron microscope allow scientists to do that they couldn't do with a light microscope?
Things To See Closer And Deeper Into The Thing They Are Looking At.
What is thermal energy for kids?
it is All light comes from atoms. Atoms that produce light have either gained energy by absorbing light from another source or by being struck by other particles. It is this 'extra energy' that causes an atom to give off light. The light being emitted is carrying off the extra energy.
